I’ve seen this video before, but I thought I’d share this with you all. This is the famous Ray Bethell team-flying… with himself. No, this isn’t fancy computer work, he actually controls 1 kite on each hand, and controls the 3rd kite with his hips. Amazing stuff… enjoy.

I recently stumbled upon a Kite Aerial Photography (KAP) site by Scott Haefner… I’ve always been facinated by the KAP but have not been so facinated that I’d actually launch my camera onto a kite.

But Scott and hundreds of other KAP folk do it all the time, with cameras worth more than most kites. For that I have to give these guys credit.

Anyway, Scott has put together a great site with a gallery and (atleast to me) the most interesting is his equipment/gear list… He gives close-up pictures of his rig and all his equipment. This is invaluable to anyone that is thinking about getting involved in KAP.

Randy has been around the kite scene for quite awhile. I believe I first met him at the St. Augustine Sport Kite Championship back in 2005 (?). He’s a great flyer and has created a fairly extensive Sportkite Blog.  He’s even gone out and created a bunch of instructional videos, which are available on his site for free. 

I encourage everyone to stop by and take a look: Randyg’s Sportkite Blog
